WELCOME TO
KAMIGAWA
Ww E HAVE ENDURED LIFETIMES OF WAR AND CARVED OUR

way to peace by blade and conquest. Now, united at
last under Kyodai's guidance, we lay down our weapons and
open our minds.
— AOHA
General of the First Emperor
The world of Kamigawa is one where new meets old, where magic
and technology converge and collide in unexpected ways. Magic is
the domain of the kami, spirits or gods of the realm that associate
with all things.:The Kakuriyo is the spirit world, the plane of
existence where the kami dwell. Its other half is the Utsushiyo
where mortals live. These planes of existence are slowly merging,
allowing the kami to pass into the mortal world and become a part
of it.
THE KAMI WAR
12,000 years ago, daimyo Takeshi Konda used powerful magic to

pull an aspect of O-Kagachi, the supreme kami of all kami, from
Kakuriyo. This greatly enraged the spirits, who turned against the
physical world with a vengeance. The war finally ended in its
twentieth year when Princess Michiko Konda managed to free the
kidnapped aspect, Kyodai, and defeated O-Kagachi and Lord
Konda. The death of O-Kagachi caused the barrier between the two
realms to break down, thus precipitating the merging of the two
realms.
NEON DYNASTY
In the modern era, Utsushiyo has transformed into a futuristic

world of cyberpunk ninjas and samurai, where tradition and
modernity meet. The Kamigawans have discovered electricity,
experienced an industrial revolution, and entered a computerized
era. Some kami have adapted, taking on industrial-style bodies,
while other kami oppose these changes.
The current Emperor has disappeared from the world, leaving

the kitsune Light-Paws acting as regent in her stead to juggle
growing tensions between factions as the plane barrels forward
into the future.

IS CHAPTER OFFERS AN OVERVIEW OF LIFE IN KAMIGAWA,

including information on various factions and locations.
Whatever a character's origin, any native of Kamigawa
would be familiar with the currency and language, and the plane's
relationship to kami and technology.
KAMI
The kami are the great spirits who come from Kakuriyo, the spirit
world. Kami are manifestation of all things on Kamigawa; each
place, event, and concept has a spiritual counterpart in Kakuriyo.
Because of this, kami come in an overwhelming variety of forms,

even among the same "species" of kami, and their brand of magic
is mysterious and beyond anything mortals have conceived. There
might be a kami of a specific object, like the kami of imperial
dishware, or powerful overarching concepts like Kyodai, the soul
of Kamigawa.
When the kami manifest into the ordinary world, their

manifestation is a bit unstable and creates strange glowing energy
objects orbiting around them. Mortals who bond to kami often
display these orbiting objects as well. Furthermore, the strange of
nature of kami magic often creates "glitch"-like iridescent cubes
and strange shapes when spells are cast or near merge-gates.
Kami‘a very common sight, both on the'streets of Towashi and

any place near a merge-gate, openly interacting with others.
Depending on.their manifestation, kami can be harmful, helpful,
or indifferent towards mortals.
You can learn more about notable kami in Chapter 3.
TECHNOLOGY
For much of Kamigawa's history, power was concentrated in the

hands of the elite. More recently, however, Kamigawa has found
itself facing significant disruption to this status quo as new
innovations have made access to power more widely and.cheaply
available to all. Key among these innovations were two: enhancers
invented by the akki artisans of Sokenzanshi, and the method
invented by the Saiba Futurists of drawing power directly from the
spirit realm.
The akki artisans had a long tradition of invention and

ingenuity, as well as effectively using their scarce resources to
great effect—including kami-granted powers. Thanks to the
enhancer, even,though few people had deep relationships with the
kami, they were now able to apply more efficiently whatever
powers they had been granted.
At the same time, the Saiba Futurists were conducting

- experiments with merges to test the nature of the spirit realm. As
an unintended side effect, they discovered a way to draw on magic
directly, without needing to form a bond with kami. These two
technologies soon combined to form the basis of the boom in new
technology that exploded across the plane.
Among the more common pieces of technology is the personal q

wrist-mount, which can store useful data such as credit chips and
identification. Holograms are used as interfaces for most
technology, and security comes in the form of semblance or
fingerprint scanners.
Wireless communicators provide the basis for networks of

systems that control technology, such as the public access
terminals around Towashi that provide residents with up-to-date
information on everything from traffic delays to hostile kami
sightings. Capture trees are used as stationary security cameras
throughout the Empire.
Automatons are commonly used to perform basic or menial

tasks, while mechs are powerful vehicle suits that allow the pilot to
perform physical tasks far beyond their normal capabilities.
The modern era has also seen the incorporation of technology

into everyday equipment, with technologically empowered
weapons and armors, plasma cannons, and personal hover bikes
now being common sights in Towashi.
CURRENCY
The unit of currency in Kamigawa is the Ryo, originally minted in

gold, silver, and copper coins. In the modern era, most people use
either credit chips to wirelessly access a bank account, or
translucent holographic bank notes. Though minted coins are no
longer used, copper coins with holes in the middle are sometimes
offered at kami shrines.

LANGUAGES
Kamigawa is not a world with a large variety of languages, unlike

most D&D settings. The known and possible languages in

THE IMPERIAL COURT
The Imperials are the most widespread and powerful organization

on Kamigawa, founded to help Kyodai manage the merging of the
mortal and spirit realms. Over time, they expanded into
government and rulership. Although peaceful management
remains the heart of their organization, they are not afraid to bring
their authority to bear on any activity that threatens their mission.
The current regime takes an active, widespread role in restricting
new technologies, which they insist is necessary to maintain social
stability.
Those wishing to join the Imperials must undergo a grueling

education. Trainees frequently go on to become samurai, kami
intercessors, moth riders, and mech pilots. Some families have
served the Imperials for generations, and their children begin
training from the time they can hold a sword. But people from all
walks of life are encouraged to join—loyalty, not social class, is
what's important to the Imperials. Through dedication and hard
work, one can rise to positions of wealth and power.
The Imperial court interacts with the kami frequently, and many
kami willingly work with the Imperials, lending their power to help
them deal with merges and the possible side effects of merges. The
title "Emperor of Kamigawa" is given to whomever the kami
Kyodai has chosen to bond with, thus connecting them to the
body and soul of the plane.
The current Emperor is missing. She appointed the seven-tailed

kitsune Light Paws as acting regent in her stead.

THE ASARI UPRISERS

The Asari Uprisers aim to overthrow what they see as oppressive,
authoritarian Imperial rule. They believe power and technology
should be shared rather than hoarded, and that the Imperials are
outdated and regressive. Fealty and loyalty are honored. Disloyalty
and betrayal are punished. Uprisers frequently clash with Imperial
enforcers in the middle of the streets, especially in Sokenzanshi, a
mountain city of artisans and artificers that has borne the full
weight of the Imperials' restrictive edicts. After the emperor
disappeared, the Uprisers began preparing a large-scale coup.
The Uprisers are composed of flat, decentralized ranks of

samurai, soldiers, and artillerists supported by their community
artisans and inventors. They maintain no formal headquarters;
preferring transient meeting rooms sprinkled throughout the city.
The Uprisers focus on practical, physical solutions rather than

abstract theories. Their limited resources mean they make do with
whatever material they can scrounge together and take pride in
caring for and repairing their own gear. Much of their equipment
is pieced together from scraps, so no member's gear is the same as
another's. Some artisans even pride themselves on never using
"new" material.
The Uprisers are led by Risona, a human artificer who originally

made weapons and armor for the Imperial court, but became
disillusioned by the way they handled the Emperor's
disappearance and the food shortage that occurred in Sokenzashi
because of it.
THE SAIBA FUTURISTS
The driven, highly secretive Futurists are a technocratic elite at the

forefront of technological innovation in Kamigawa. They believe
strongly in innovation and pushing the boundaries of possibility,
claiming impartiality to how the rest of the plane views their
research. In theory, the Futurists obey Imperial restrictions on
technological development, but in practice, they often dabble on
the edges of the law—and in some cases step right over the line.
Although many of their inventions have aided the entire plane,
they often hoard the best knowledge for themselves to maintain
power and status. Whispers say they've pushed the boundaries of
technological development further than anyone can guess.
The Futurists are organized into divisions, each headed by a

chief. All divisions have researchers and experimentalists, but
some are secretive to the point of paranoia and employ agents of
espionage. Projects are given cryptic code names and are
surrounded by magical occlusion veils. The only person with
complete insight into the entire organization is the head of the
Futurists, whose identity is shrouded in mystery.
Most Futurists prefer not to rely on kami magic because they see
it as putting themselves at the whim of the kami. They would
rather be free to experiment and explore on their own terms.
Occasionally, they'll consult with kami, but for the most part, they
prefer to rely on their own ingenuity to figure things out.
Nevertheless, some individual Futurists have chosen to
experiment with kami magic and the very forces that govern
reality.
The current director of the Saiba Futurists is the moonfolk

Emire, the Living Breakthrough. He has augmented himself with
extensive prototype origami enhancements, and some believe he
may be as much machine as mortal.

THE ORDER OF JUKAI
The Order of Jukai believes that technology is damaging the fabric

of nature. When its leader, the orochi Shigeki, bonded with a
nature kami, he experienced a prophetic dream of the spirit realm
shattering. He vowed to stop the vision from coming true and
named his new Order after the moment when the Jukai forest
expelled all mortals, including his own ancestors. The Order grew
swiftly as others had similar visions of the spirit realm's
destruction. They actively despise the Saiba Futurists and desire to
destroy their floating headquarters.
The Order is organized in decentralized cells scattered

throughout the plane. Cells are small, typically comprised of a few
stealth operatives and a kami channeler or two. They mobilize
quickly and hide when needed, favoring decisive acts of swift
destruction. Their preferred method is to infiltrate a technological
center and then unleash destruction by either detonating a device
imbued with kami magic or summoning an actual kami. These
strikes are controlled and targeted: they wait until the area is as
empty as possible and never attack residential zones. However,
they won't hesitate to cut down anyone who gets in their way. On
the last day of a Jukai agent's training, they are given a powerful
relic blessed by the kami.
Kami take a very active role in'shaping and guiding the Order of
Jukai, providing power, friendship, and a shared sense of purpose.
Some members and kami share such a deep, personal connection
that the kami will grant the mortal permission to access the
deepest recesses of their magic. These channelers can call upon
powerful spirits and primal forces of nature.

THE LIVING HISTORIANS

On a changing plane, the Living Historians fear that the past is in
danger of being forgotten or quietly erased. Even if they don't have
a complete picture of the past, they still endeavor to preserve it,
recording events as faithfully as they can without bias or omission.
They tattoo these stories onto their skin and bring them to life
through dance, theater, and song. The tattoos magically rise into
the air during their performances as moving illustrations of
historical events. Although their training instructs them to erase
their personal biases, some might argue that the very nature of
their art means they inherently inject their perspectives into their
work.
The Living Historians were founded in the wake of The Kami

War by Reki, the History of Kamigawa and Azusa. They wanted to
preserve the knowledge that was in danger of being lost amidst the
chaos of their changing plane. Azusa's diary became a pivotal
firsthand document in this reconstruction process and remains
one of the Living Historians' most sacred texts.
10
THE RECKONERS
The Reckoners form a sprawling, loosely connected series of

criminal gangs that trace their history to before the Kami War.
Usually, they operate openly as legitimate businesses, but anyone
who crosses them is quickly met with harsh violence according to a
strict code. Alliances, betrayals, and turf wars between gangs are
common, but those same gangs will unite against outsiders. Of
Kamigawa's major organizations, the Reckoners are the most
flexible and have no problem relying on both technology and kami
powers—whatever gets the job done. They aren't very concerned
with what the future should look like—so long as they can profit
from it.
The Reckoners attract members who have grown disillusioned

with society. Many an embittered, cynical Imperial samurai has
joined the Reckoners' ranks, but they also recruit poisoners, kami
channelers, and ninjas. No matter a person's origin, there's a
strong sense of family and fellowship within the Reckoners.
Tests of loyalty are demanded on a regular basis. Every member

of the Reckoners is inked with magical tattoos that ensure loyalty
and prevent betrayal; the penalty of leaving or crossing is a
reckoning. As a recruit climbs the ranks, they receive additional
tattoos, each representing a new binding or connection forged
within the gang. Bosses are often tattooed from neck to toe.
ONI CULTS
People from all walks of life are drawn to demon worship, seduced
by the promise of power and destruction offered. Though they're
collectively referred to as cultists, individual practitioners have
little to do with each other. Many are openly hostile to each other,
so they tend to live in places where they can blend in or move
frequently to avoid attracting unwarranted attention.
Nevertheless, they all share a similar goal: feed their demon patron
enough power to break the bindings that chain them to the spirit
realm.
Demons themselves are entities of chaos and destruction that

were locked away in the spirit realm by Kyodai centuries ago. Cut
off from the mortal realm, they are unable to feed freely, and their
power dwindles. The cultists’ most well-known figure is Hidetsugu,
once an ogre who merged with the All-Devouring Oni of Chaos to
become an entity of destruction and hunger incarnate. He is both
revered among other demon cultists for having achieved the
impossible and simultaneously the one they all want to devour to
take his role.

JUKAI FOREST
The Jukai Forest is an ancient forest composed mainly of huge

cedar trees. It is almost as large as all the surrounding territories
combined, and its farthest edges haven't been fully explored. The
forest is the ancestral home of the Orochi, and is still home to a
number of their colonies, such as the village of Susuki. Sugi
Hayashi is a kitsune village that lies at the mouth of the Akagi
river.
TOWASHI CITY
Towashi is the main city in Kamigawa, characterized by looming

skyscrapers, large neon signs, and vibrant cherry trees. It was built
in a cleared-out part of the Jukai Forest. It is the seat of Imperial
power. Now, kami and humans alike live among its towering
skyscrapers. The streets are always packed, no matter the time of
day. Its prime location along the coast makes it a hub for
commerce, and its proximity to the forest provides shelter from
the elements. Hovering lanterns and neon lights brighten a lower
city that would otherwise be drowned in shadows throughout the
day, and those same lights transform the city at night into a
beacon of dazzling colors.
BOESIJU DISTRICT
Boseiju is the oldest and largest living tree in Kamigawa and the
only remnant of the Jukai Forest within Towashi city limits. Its
branches dwarf the surrounding skyscrapers, casting a near-
permanent shadow over the city beneath. When dwellings were
constructed on the tree itself, the Boseiju District arose as a haven
for those who sought to escape from frantic modern life and be in
touch with nature. In the heart of this district is an Imperial Shrine
to Kyodai.

UNDERCITY
The Reckoners are spread throughout Kamigawa, but the Towashi

Undercity has the largest concentration of gangs. The district is
shrouded in the near-perpetual-shadows cast by Boseiju-and the
towering, cramped skyscrapers above. Gangs rule the streets,
enforcing their own codes that can vary from one city block to the
next, depending on who runs that territory. But the Dragon's Well
maintains its neutrality as a venerated, protected meeting site
where the heads of different gangs meet to hash out disagreements
and make formal treaties.
The Undercity houses a Flea Market, where less than legal goods
can be peddled, along with the Kozue Sake Bar. It is also rumored
that somewhere in the Undercity, there is a fighting pit that looms
over a deadly chasm, where warriors test their skills and only the
strongest survive.
OTHER.LOCATIONS
Towashi includes a large central Marketplace, where merchants

from all over the plane sell their wares. In a nearby alley, you can
find Itachi's Noodle Bar, run by Itachi (CN nezumi Commoner).
The bar is known for its collection of information, rather than the
Undercity mushroom ramen.
Far Corner is a neighborhood on the border between Towashi

City and Jukai forest. In the past, it was a village belonging to the
Jukai forest. Nearby, one can find a communal Fountain. The
natural beauty of the place is often overshadowed by holographic
adverts.
Elsewhere in Towashi, one can find the Towashi Arcade, full of

video games, holo-card gaming tables, and celebrity signing
events. Among the skyscrapers lie laboratories and facilities where
research and engineering are carried.
Throughout Towashi, connecting each of its districts, are the

Painted Roads. These are ancient bridges where kami law is
inscribed. These places are generally avoided in the aftermath of
the Kami War.
11
12
TOWABARA
Towabara is the massive plain at the center of Kamigawa. Within

Towabara there are numerous Imperial villages; including
Kodaira, built around an Imperial military outpost, and the village
of Kofu which lies at the foot of the mountains.
EIGANJO
Eiganjo Castle was built by Takeshi Konda, instigator of the Kami ‘
War, and was built upon the bones of its ancient former castle self,
Eiganjo is a place where ancient shrines and ancestral homes exist
side by side with sleekly modern structures. Ancient architecture is
painstakingly maintained and incorporated rather than torn down
or built over, creating a sense of elegance and harmony between
past and present.
The Imperial Palace proper is where high-ranking members of

the Imperial court live and work, and pilgrims come to seek an
audience with the emperor. The main shrine to Kyodai, the
guardian spirit of Kamigawa, is located within the palace. The
castle also boasts a magnificent sakura garden.
Outside of the palace is Eigan Town, a large human settlement,

and Golden-Tail Academy, the most famous and unparalleled
Samurai academy. The current headmaster is Swift-Arm (LG
kitsune seven-tail mentor).
ARABA
The Araba is a blasted wasteland north of Towashi, full of craters

from the Kami War. There one can find Reito, a decimated and
abandoned human mining city, where the first attacks of the war
began.

KAMITAKI
Lake Kamitaki is a large body of water in the North of Kamigawa,
bordering the Towabara Plains, Towashi (which used to be the
Jukai Forest), and the Takenuma swamps. From it flows the great
Kamigawa River and the lesser Akagi River. Mikokoro is a
rumored sacred island of crystal, that lies at the heart of the seas
north of Kamitaki.
MINAMO
Minamo is the "school at water's edge," built around and above the
lake and the Kamitaki Falls. The academy is comprised of both
ordinary buildings and buildings held magically aloft. It served as
a place of study of magic, history, and kami before the Kami War.
The school is still operational, but with the advent of technology,
has been largely replaced by Otawara.
OTAWARA
Otawara is a floating city of the Soratami, resting in the clouds

above Kamitaki. Many of its buildings are covered in metal and
glass. There are surveillance drones everywhere, and enormous,
origami mechs that prowl the edges of the floating city.
Formerly the exclusive domain of the moonfolk, the floating city

has opened its doors to intrepid researchers of all kinds.
Nevertheless, it remains a place of beauty and mystery. Mist and
clouds swirl between buildings. Pathways and entrances are
hidden and deliberately confusing, meant to dissuade outsiders.
The only place non-moonfolk are still forbidden is Oboro, the
_ Ancient Palace, which is considered sacred ground to the
moonfolk.
14
SOKENZAN
The Sokenzan mountain range is the largest in Kamigawa and it

lies south of Eiganjo. It is the ancestral home of the akki and o-
bakemono. It is currently the center of operations for the Asari
Uprisers.
Other locations include Ganzan Pass, an infamously deadly pass

through the mountain range. There is a famous merge-gate in the
mountains called the God's Eye gate. Another site of interest is the
ruins of Godo's Hall, the meeting place of an infamous ronin
bandit lord.
SOKENZASHI
The hardy, self-reliant city of Sokenzanshi is home to a thriving

community of independent artisans and tinkerers. Foundries and
ironworks are built right into the sides of the mountains to shelter
from frequent snowstorms and tap straight into the fires at the
mountain's heart. Life in the mountain city isn't the easiest, and
those who call the city their home are stubborn, resourceful, and
fiercely committed to their way of life. A system of natural mineral
hot springs dot the slopes surrounding the city and are very
popular all year round.
SHINKA KEEP
Also called the Bloodsoaked Keep, Shinka was the hermitage of

Hidetsugu, the o-bakemono who worshipped and merged with the
All-Consuming Oni of Chaos. Its exact location is only known to a
select few oni worshippers. Today, ogre mages and oni cultists of
all kinds make the pilgrimage to Shinka to study magic and the
oni.
TENDO PEAKS
The Tendo Peaks are the steepest mountains of the Sokenzan,

clothed in bitter cold. The Heart of Frost is a tall peak where dwells
a Yuki-onna. Untaidake is the tallest peak of the mountains,
sometimes called the needle that weaves the fabric of creation.
Art by Alayna Lemmer-Danner
@alayna
TAKENUMA
Takenuma is a fetid swamp of rotten bamboo, poisoned water, foul

air, and perpetual dusk. It is the ancestral home of the nezumi. Oni
made this area their home during the kami war. Many believe the
swamps to still be cursed; without a proper burial, spirits of the
dead can rise as wraiths.
VILLAGES
Takenuma is home to several villages. Kitanosu and Takenosu are

two nezumi villages deep within the swamps. The village of Numai
was originally a human village, but was long ago abandoned,
becoming a safe haven for gangs, oni cultists, and dark mages.
Miren is a haunted well somewhere in the swamps, presumably
built for a village that has long since sunk deep beneath the mire.
SHIZO
Shizo, death's storehouse, is a battlefield ruin within the swamps.

More than a hundred years before the Kami War, it was a verdant
field with beautiful flowers, until two great daimyo set their armies
against one another for nothing more than greed and ambition.
After 891 samurai were killed all in one battle, in the name of such
dishonorable causes, the meadow where they battled became a
forbidden mire of mummified corpses in the mud.
It is rumored that the blood overflowing from this battlefield ran

into the neighboring bamboo forest, and; thus Takenuma was
born.
TOMB OF URAMI
No one is certain of the location of the Tomb of Urami, but many

believe it lies hidden in the swamps of Takenuma because of the
oni who dwelled there. According to legend, Urami, the kami of
ceaseless hunger, made a pact with an ogre clan to procure
corporeal food from the mortal world, in the form of mortals
themselves. Rumors then spread that Urami had died, and many
mortals ventured to see his grave; but others still claim that this is
a trap set by the oni, who devours all who dare venture near his
"tomb".

RACES
T 1ST LEVEL, YOU CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER'S RACE. THIS

A section presents the playable races for this setting, and
provides information to help you understand your

character's place in the world.
When you create a character for the Kamigawa setting, follow

these additional rules during character creation.
ABILITY SCORE INCREASES
When determining your ability scores, you increase one of those

scores by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or you increase
three different scores by 1. You follow this rule regardless of the
method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point
buy.
Your class's "Quick Build" section offers suggestions on which

scores to increase. You're free to follow those suggestions or to
ignore them. Whichever scores you decide to increase, none of the
scores can be raised above 20.
LANGUAGES
Your character can speak, read, and write Common. At your DM's
discretion, your character might know or be able to learn another
one of Kamigawa's other languages. You can learn more about the
languages in Kamigawa in Chapter 1.

CREATURE TYPE
Every creature in D&D, including every player character, has a

special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are.
Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. A race in this
section tells you what your creature type is.
Here's a list of the game's creature types in alphabetical order:

Aberration, Beast, Celestial, Construct, Dragon, Elemental, Fey,
Fiend, Giant, Humanoid, Monstrosity, Ooze, Plant, Undead. These
types don't have rules themselves, but some rules in the game
affect creatures of certain types in different ways. For example, the
cure wounds spell doesn't work on a Construct or an Undead.
AGE
The typical life span of a player character in the D&D multiverse is

about a century, assuming the character doesn't meet a violent end
on an adventure. In Kamigawa, kitsune are known to be long-lived
compared to other races.
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
Player characters, regardless of race, typically fall into the same

ranges of height and weight that humans have in our world. If
you'd like to determine your character’s height or weight
randomly, consult the Random Height and Weight table in the
Player’s Handbook, and choose the row in the'table that best
represents the build you imagine for your character.
PROFICIENCIES
Some races and subraces grant proficiencies. These proficiencies

are usually cultural, and your character might not have any
connection with the culture in question or might have pursued
different training. You can replace each of those proficiencies with
a different one of your choice, following the restrictions on the
Proficiency Swaps table.
PROFICIENCY REPLACEMENT PROFICIENCY *

Armor Simple/Martial weapon or tool

KAMI RACES
Your DM may allow kami to be playable in your campaign. A race

from the Player's Handbook, another D&D sourcebook, or other
homebrew may be suitable-for a kami player character race, at
your DM's discretion.

@olivierbernard
Akki are a race of goblins, native to Kamigawa's Sokenzan

mountains; an ancestral homeland they share with the ogres. The
akki are short and have skin that comes in a variety of red and
brown hues, with a pair of tiny horns sticking out from their head,
four-fingered hands and three-fingered toes with long claws, and
no external ears. Akki have small, wiry bodies, but their backs are
protected by large turtle-like shells covered in short spikes; these
shells evolved over the years as akki pranks got more and more
self-destructive.
‘Traditionally, akki form territorial tribes, which consist of

warriors and shamans, led by a tribe elder. When akki encounter
trespassers, they begin by trying to ward away the offender with
small-time pranks usually involving fire and rocks, which slowly
escalate in danger if the first few don't do the trick. During the
time of the Kami War, many akki joined with the ronin and Godo's
Bandits.
In the modern era, sensibilities toward akki have improved, and

many rank among respected blacksmiths and samurai. With the
advent of technology, akki have taken the unique practice of
salvaging mechs and painting them in bright war paint; perhaps
reminiscent of akki tribal cave inscriptions.
AKKI NAMES
As a general rule, akki names consist of a reduplicated word; a

word that has the same sound repeated twice, or a very similar
sound, with no differentiation given for gender. Akki are not
known to take family names.
Example Names: Ai-Ai, Ben-Ben, Goro-Goro, Ishi-Ishi, Keni-

Keni, Kiki-Jiki, Ku-Ku, Lim-Lim, Oku-Doku, Rin-Rin, Tok-Tok,
Uppo-Uppo, Zo-Zu
RACIAL TRAITS
As an akki, you have the following traits.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid. You are also considered

a goblinoid for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a
goblinoid.
Size. You are Small.
Speed. Your walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if
it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You
discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.
Craftiness. You have proficiency in one of the following skills

of your choice: Arcana, Deception, Investigation, Sleight of Hand,
or Survival.
Fire Resistance. You have resistance to fire damage.
Natural Armor. While you aren't wearing armor, your turtle-

like spiky shell gives you a base Armor Class of 13 + your Dexterity
modifier.
Fury of the Small. When you damage a creature with an

attack or a spell and the creature's size is larger than yours, you
can cause the attack or spell to deal extra damage to the creature.
The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus.
You can use this trait a number of times equal to your

proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a
long rest, and you can use it no more than once per turn.
HUMAN
Humans in Kamigawa are believed to come from the central plains

of Towabara, where they were once ruled by the daimyo, feudal
warlords. They are the progenitors and main citizens of the
Empire, which was formed at the end of the Kami War to help
Kyodai, the kami of the realm, to maintain the peace between the
spirit and mortal worlds. Humans are also known for having
befriended and trained the giant moths of Kamigawa as mounts,
which the Imperials often ride into battle, and for having started
Minamo Academy long before the Kami war.
In the modern era, humans can be found throughout Kamigawa

in its many villages and cities, and among all of the various groups
and factions found in the plane, showing their adaptability and
versatility.
HUMAN NAMES
Kamigawa humans have names that often reflect the natural world
around them. They are also given clan names, with many clans
valuing their prestigious heritage and seeking to honor their
ancestors’ name.
Male Names: Isshin, Kaito, Kenshi, Raiyuu, Satoru, Tatsunari,

Toshiro
Female Names: Eiko, Heiko, Michiko, Kotose, Naomi, Norika,

Risona, Satsuki
Clan Names: Hisoka, Konda, Kumano, Nitta, Sakashima,

RACIAL TRAITS
As a human from Kamigawa, the following traits replace your

racial traits in the Player's Handbook.
Creature Type. You are a Humanoid.
Size. You are Medium.
Human Determination. When you make an attack roll,

ability check, or saving throw, after seeing the result but before the
effects of the roll are resolved, you can reroll the die and must use
the new roll. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you
finish a long rest.
Versatility. Humans have a wide range of natural talents. You

have proficiency in one skill of your choice and with one tool of
your choice.
VARIANT TRAIT
If your campaign uses the optional feat rules found in the

Player's Handbook, your Dungeon Master might allow this
variant trait, which replaces the Human Determination and
Versatility traits.
Feat. You gain one feat of your choice.
19
KAPPA
Kappa are mysterious, water-dwelling folk native to Kamigawa.

Little is known about them, but kappa superficially resemble
turtles, including having shells on their back like akki. Before the
Kami War, it was believed they were extinct. The Shell of the Last
Kappa was a relic of considerable magical power and was keptvat a
shrine.
Kappa have since re-emerged from somewhere beneath the

waves of lake Kamitaki. Some of these resurgent kappa have a
penchant for wrecking technology, while others have been known
to make unique use of it, such as incorporating firearms into their
shells.
There are many legends surrounding the kappa; namely, that
they love cucumbers and this weakness can be exploited by their
enemies. Furthermore, it is said that the bowl on their head which
collects water is the source of their power. Given how rare kappas
are, no one can’ reliably verify these legends.
KAPPA NAMES
Kappas have a single name which they adopt for themselves. Males
typically take names inspired by renowned artists, while female

names are often inspired by famous art pieces. Kappa names are
distinct for their foreign sound.
Male Names: Donatero, Reonarudo, Mikeranjuro, Rafaeru,

Sheikusupia
Female Names: Apuriru, Arutemisu, Binasu, Monariza, Ribati,

Shisutina

speed equal to your walking speed.
Amphibious. You can breathe both air and water.

As long as the dish is full of water, you have advantage on ability

KITSUNE
The kitsune of Kamigawa are cunning, tricksy masters of

diplomacy and swordmanship. They are curious and fond of
__ playing pranks, mostly harmless ones for their own amusement.
Kitsune are long-lived beings with very strong beliefs in their

traditions. They tend to live in large, close-knit family clans related
through blood and marriage. Kitsune are proud of their lineages
and are able to trace their ancestry back through multiple
generations.
The more a kitsune experiences, the more tails they grow, with
the wisest elders having nine tails. The average kitsune is slighter
and shorter than the average human, with the top of a kitsune's
head coming up to a human's chin. They have white fur with red
markings.
KITSUNE NAMES
Whatever a kitsune might be named at birth, a kitsune will often

choose to change as it grows and gains more tails, reflecting its
new understanding of the world and itself. Kitsune names are
usually hyphenated and fixated on physical properties.
Example Names: Autumn-Tail, Iron-Claw, Light-Paws, Opal-

Eye, Pearl-Ear, Rune-Tail, Silk-Eyes, Silver-Foot, Snow-Fur,

eight tails at 15th level, and nine tails at 17th level.
If you miss with an attack roll or fail an ability check or a saving

throw, you can draw on your gained knowledge to gain a bonus to

all expended uses when you finish a long rest, and you can use it
no more than once per turn.

~) MOONFOLK
ie | The moonfolk, or soratami, are an enigmatic race of humanoid

beings who are capable of flight and dwell in floating cities of
Kamigawa's sky. Physically, they are slim, possess blue-gray skin,
and have long ears which they sometimes wrap over their heads.
The moonfolk claim to be descended from a moon Myojin. They
live within the floating city of Otawara, which rests in the clouds
above lake Kamitaki. They watch over the world below, mostly
indifferent to the concerns of the surface folk. They have a high
emphasis on the study of magic and technology, with the Director
of the Saiba Futurists being a moonfolk researcher.

MOONFOLK NAMES
Moonfolk do not use familial names, instead relying on

mononyms. In rare cases, a moonfolk might hold a title that is
recognized among their people and used to differentiate them
from others with the same name.
Example Names: Chiyo, Eitoku, Erayo, Katsumasa, Kotori,

Meloku, Tameshi, Tamiyo, Uyo
RACIAL TRAITS
As a moonfolk, you have the following traits.

Cantrip. You know one cantrip of your choice from the wizard
spell list. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting

for that cantrip (choose when you select this race).
Kami's Legacy. You have advantage on saving throws you
make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself.
Flight. You have a flying speed equal to your walking speed.
You can't use this flying speed if you're wearing medium or heavy
armor.
NEZUMI
The Nezumi are a race of anthropomorphic rats native to the

Takenuma swamps. In times past, Kamigawa's other races
ostracized and stereotyped the nezumi. Though in recent years the
feelings toward the nezumi have softened, they are still oftentimes
seen as outsiders in the Empire and its lands.
The nezumi traditionally live in independent swamp villages, or

in roaming nezumi gangs. Nezumi did not have magical traditions
until the theft of scrolls from Minamo Academy; nezumi then
developed unique practices, such as that of the insect-shaman,
sometimes called a miser, who can control swarms of Takenuma
insects. These shamans also developed bone-reading, a type of
divination. With the advent of technology, some nezumi samurai
practice the bladeblessing, combining technology and magic to
enhance their weaponry, while the nezumi of the legendary Okiba
reckoner gang are renowned for being the best engineers and
pilots of cyberbikes.
Nezumi have a wide range of gray and brown fur colors. They
are characteristically smaller and lighter than other races, and so
make naturally adept ninjas, spies, scouts, and pilots.
NEZUMI NAMES
Nezumi have their own language in which they name themselves,

but they often use translated names in the common tongue when
among others. Nezumi names are usually compound words that
describe the physical characteristics, personality traits, or
professional habits of the person.
Example Names: Black-nose, Greasefang, Ink-eyes, Marrow-

gnawer, Nighteyes, Silver-fur, Skullsnatcher, Stabwhisker, Split-
tail
RACIAL TRAITS
As a nezumi, you have the following traits.
Size. You are Small.

Murine Talents. You have proficiency in the Perception and

Stealth skills.
Nezumi Resilience. You have resistance to poison damage

and immunity to disease, and you have advantage on saving
throws you make to avoid or end the poisoned condition on
yourself.
Nimble Escape. You can take the Disengage or Hide action as

a bonus action on each of your turns.

OGRE
Known as o-bakemono, the ogres of Kamigawa are more

intelligent than ogres of other worlds and possess considerable
brute cunning. They originated in the Sokenzan Mountains,
though most of their ancestors migrated to the swamps of
Takenuma. They are taller than the other humanoids on average,
with stockier builds. They have pointed ears and sharp nails, skin
tones that range from reddish browns to purplish gray, and most
have horns that protrude from their foreheads.
Traditionally, o-bakemono worshipped the oni, in contrast to
the reverence of kami spirits by other cultures. Oni manifest from
selfish and destructive concepts, which the o-bakemono view as
necessary aspects of life. Their culture is defined by such concepts,
valuing the power and strength of each individual. O-bakemono
worshipped the oni with blood rites and sacrifices of living
sentients in exchange for gifts of strength and supernatural
powers. With the advent of the Kami War, the o-bakemono
succeeded in freeing many of their oni masters from their spiritual
prisons, together hoping to reshape Kamigawa on these principles.
In the modern day, o-bakemono culture has diversified. There

are some villages and communities that still worship the oni, but
many who do not, seeing the value in peace and community.
Though they suffer a fearsome reputation, many seek to make
peace and can be found in cities such as Towashi.
OGRE .NAMES
Traditionally o-bakemono bear a single name given at birth. Some
o-bakemono may be named after infamous oni, showing their

reverence for the spirits.
Example Names: Goka, Hidetsugu, Kosei, Kuon, Muzan, Touma

Revered Oni Names: Kagemaro, Kuro, Kyoki, Seizan, Shimatsu,
Yukora

OROCHI
Orochi are anthropomorphic four-armed snakefolk who originally

inhabited the Jukai Forest of Kamigawa. Their culture revolves
around reverence for the kami of the land and nature, and their
magic is noticeably tied to the seasons. Orochi traditionally live in
colonies, built with a unique egg-like architecture. Orochi eggs are
tended by a Broodmistress and her Eggwatchers. Orochi colonies
are interestingly devoid of tombstones; by tradition, the dead are
buried with a tree sapling, so they would become a part of the
forest after death.
The orochi form three distinct tribes: the Kashi tribe, who house
and breed warriors; the Matsu tribe, who raise spies and scouts;
and the Sakura tribe, who preserve the orochi rituals and
teachings.
In ages past, the orochi had legs like any other humanoid race in
Kamigawa. After the Kami War, the orochi were forced out of their
home, and they appealed to the kami for help. The kirin answered
their call, but demanded the orochi give up their limbs as payment.
When the orochi hastily agreed, the kirin had pity on them, taking
only their legs and granting them access to greater magical power.
OROCHI NAMES
Almost all orochi have names that begin with an 'S' sound, and
often contain more than one S in the rest of the name. Orochi do
not use family names, but may use their tribe name as a surname.
Male Names: Sadao, Satoshi, Senichi, Seshiro, Sitsusuro,

26
CLASSES
HARACTERS OF ANY CLASS CAN BE FOUND IN KAMIGAWA,
though some classes are rarer than others. The following
section provides guidelines on playing certain classes in

Kamigawa.
Artificers* are quite common in Kamigawa, blending modern

technology and kami magic. Alchemists who use natural reagents
might be found among the Order of Jukai, or running local ramen
shops in the cities. Battle Smiths and Artillerists might create
automatons or origami papercraft robots and could be found
among the tinkerers of Sokenzashi, the Saiba Futurists, or the
Reckoner gangs.
Barbarians are rare and might be found among the ogres,

goblins, and Sanzoku bandits of the Sokenzan mountains. Some
might also be found in the Jukai Forest, channeling kami in their
rage (especially Path of the Ancestral Guardian‘), or as bouncers
and heavies among the Reckoner gangs of Towashi.
Bards are commonly found among the ranks of celebrity

influencers, band members, and other artists such as sculptors and
origamists who might be found in Towashi or other large cities.
They might also be found in the forests or mountains, learning art
and magic from kami.
Clerics or kannushi revere the kami, particularly powerful ones

like the Dragon Spirits, at the many shrines throughout the lands
of Kamigawa. Your DM might allow you to choose the city domain
of Unearthed Arcana: Modern Magic, which might be a kannushi
who reveres a kami of technology or progress.
Druids or yamabushi are most in tune with nature, respecting

it and drawing magic from the kami of the elements. Most druids
would be at home in the Jukai Forest or the Sokenzan mountains.
Druids of the Circle of Sporest might be insect-shamans, taught by
the nezumi of the Takenuma swamps.
Fighters are quite common in Kamigawa; the Imperials,

Reckoner gangs, and all other factions all employ some kind of
muscle. Samurai are especially favored and renowned in
Kamigawa.
Monks who seek enlightenment, such as the Way of Mercy*,

are called budoka and might be found among the Jukai Order or
Living Historians. Other monks might be ninjas or shinobi,
employed by Reckoner gangs in Towashi or by the Futurists.
Paladins would be similar to Samurai, those who swear oaths

of honor and fight for a cause. The oaths of Conquestt or Devotion
might be loyal to the Empire, while the oaths of Ancients or
Watchers* might be warriors who fight against or alongside kami.
* This class option appears in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything.

t This class option appears in Xanathar's Guide to Everything
Rangers might be found among the Jukai Order as defenders

of the forest. A Swarmkeeper* or Beast Master might be bonded to
a particular kami, while a Fey Wanderer* or Horizon Walker*
might be a defender of merge-gates.
Rogues might be ninjas employed by Reckoner gangs in

Towashi, or corporate spies employed by the Futurists or by the
Empire itself.
Sorcerers are spellcasters with an innate magical ability, and

their bloodline might represent a powerful spellcasting ancestor or
a kami bonded to familial line.
Warlocks learn from or draw their power from spirits, and

might be someone with a bond to a great kami or oni. Your DM
might allow you to choose the Ghost in Machine patron from
Unearthed Arcana: Modern Magic, which might represent a kami
trapped in a piece of technology.
Wizards or jushi study arcane knowledge to gain magic. They

might be students of a magical school, such as Minamo Academy,
Shinka Keep, or the hidden Temple of the Black Scroll. Jushi might
instead obtain knowledge from ancient scrolls, or even make use of
Futurist technology. Your DM might allow you to choose the
Technomancy tradition from Unearthed Arcana: Modern Magic.

BACKGROUNDS
HIS SECTION PRESENTS SEVEN SAMPLE BACKGROUNDS YOU

I can choose from to reflect a character from Kamigawa. The
backgrounds in this section provide features, proficiencies,
and equipment. This section also presents suggestions for adapting
some of the backgrounds from the Player's Handbook to tie them
| more closely to Kamigawa.
HACKER
You have embraced the modern age and the advent of technology,
and understand how to use it to your advantage. As a hacker, you
are adept at breaking into networks and systems, and overriding
technological devices. Perhaps you are working for one of the
Reckoner gangs or the Saiba Futurists, or perhaps you are a lone
wolf using your skills for your own ends.
Skill Proficiencies: Arcana, Investigation
Tool Proficiencies: Hacking tools, thieves’ tools
Equipment: Hacking tools, a face mask, a set of dark common

clothes including a hood, and a belt pouch containing 15 gp
FEATURE: USERNAME
You have created a faceless network persona tied to your hacking

exploits, and are acquainted with other like-minded hackers who
are friendly to this persona. Additionally, you can forge digital
documents and identification, as long as you have seen an example
of the kind of document you are trying to copy.
IMPERIAL BUSHI
You are a graduate of the Imperial Golden-Tail Academy, a

kitsune-run school that trains Kamigawa's best Samurai. You are
well respected and expected to uphold the law of the Empire and
balance between mortals and kami.
Skill Proficiencies: Athletics, plus one of your choice from

History, Intimidation, Insight, or Persuasion
Tool Proficiencies: One type of gaming set, vehicles (land)
Equipment: An insignia of rank (usually attached to or

incorporated into your weapon hilt), a gaming set (one of your
choice), a set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 10

FEATURE: IMPERIAL
You have an established place in the hierarchy of the Empire. You

can requisition simple equipment for temporary use, and you can
gain access to any Imperial outpost in Kamigawa, where you can
rest in safety and receive the attention of medics. You are also paid
a salary of 1 gp per week, which, combined with free lodging in an
outpost, enables you to maintain a poor lifestyle between
adventures.
VARIANT FEATURE: BLACKMAIL

If your character has a hacker background, you may select
this background feature instead of Username.
You can exert leverage over one or more Imperial

commoners and demand their help as needs warrant,
provided you have access to your hacking tools. For example,
you can have a message carried across a neighborhood,
procure a short carriage ride without paying, or have others
clean up a bloody mess you left in an alley. The DM decides if
your demands are reasonable and if there is sufficient data to
blackmail them with.
VARIANT FEATURE: ENFORCER

If your character has an imperial bushi background, :-you may
select this background feature instead of Imperial.
As an enforcer of the Imperials, you have the authority to

arrest criminals. In the absence of other authorities, you are
authorized to pass judgement and even carry out sentencing.
If you abuse this power, however, your superiors in Eiganjo
might strip it from you.

@ChrisRahnAry
INTERCESSOR
You stand in the gap between Kakuriyo and Utsushiyo,

spirit world or to profit from it.
Skill Proficiencies: Religion, Persuasion
Tool Proficiencies: One type of artisan's tools, one type of

musical instrument

set of common clothes, and a belt pouch containing 5 gp
FEATURE: KAKURIYO CONNECTION
Your mannerisms and knowledge of kami customs are recognized

by natives of the Kakuriyo, who see you as one of their own.
Because of this, friendly kami spirits are inclined to come to your
aid if you need help near a merge gate or shrine.
LIVING HISTORIAN
You were trained in the ways of the Living Historians, preservers

of history in ink. As a member of their order, you were given the
tattoos that mark Kamigawa's history. Perhaps you remain with
them still, or perhaps you forge your own path to not only record
history, but make it.
Skill Proficiencies: History, Religion
Tool Proficiencies: Calligrapher's tools, tattooist's tools
Equipment: A copy of Azusa's diary (a sacred prayer book),

enter a location of historical significance, your tattoos come to life
to tell the story of the location's original purpose and important
events. In addition, they can help you identify art objects and other
items of cultural importance.
MOTHRIDER
You have been given the training of the Eiganjo Mothriders, who

moth dies, you have advantage on any Wisdom (Animal Handling)
or Charisma check you make to befriend another imperial moth.

after by nearly every faction, and often make their own
independent names for themselves as racers, criminals, or even
vigilantes.

reckoner gang. You can get away with minor criminal offenses,

people are too daunted by you to report your wrongdoing to the
Imperials.

ADAPTING
BACKGROUNDS
The following existing backgrounds found in the Player's

Handbook can be adapted to better represent characters from
Kamigawa. As Kamigawa is not a plane with a variety of languages,
if a background gives access to a language, you can choose a tool
”. proficiency instead.
ARTISAN (GUILD ARTISAN)
You are a merchant, mechanic, or inventor. Your business dealings

extend to the major cities; Towashi, Otawara, and/or Sokenzashi.
You can select a modern Specialty, such as Mechanics, Engineers,
and Network Technicians.
VARIANT FEATURE: SUPPLY CHAIN
You have connections with wholesalers, suppliers, and other

merchants and entrepreneurs. You can call upon these
connections when looking for items or information.
BUDOKA (HERMIT)
You are a monk, or budoka, who has dedicated your life to

contemplation and meditation. Perhaps you retreated from the
bustle of technology to the Jukai Forest or Sokenzan mountains.
Your Discovery is likely linked to a revelation from the kami or the
spirit world.
CELEBRITY (ENTERTAINER)
In the modern era, entertainers can become famous by recording

holo-vids on the Network Terminals found in Towashi, becoming
celebrity influencers that garner cult followings. The koto and
onpu are new musical instruments you can choose from. You can
also replace the musical instrument in your equipment package
with an artisan's tool.
FOLK HERO
Kamigawa is home to the common folk and many villages, such as

the metropolis of Towashi, the mountain city of Sokenzashi,
kitsune and nezumi villages, and orochi colonies. You can replace
the iron pot and shovel in your equipment package with-a block
and tackle, climber's kit, fishing tackle, net, or sickle.
KANNUSHI (ACOLYTE)
You are an acolyte of the kami. Work with your DM to determine

what kami you serve; you can find information on notable kami in
chapter 6. Though you serve a particular kami, your Shelter of the
Faithful feature will likely work at any kami shrine, provided that
the shrine is not dedicated to a kami with a cause antithetical to
yours. Replace the holy symbol in your equipment package with a
gohei. It is a wand or staff with white paper streamers, used in
rituals to worship the kami. A spellcaster who draws magic from
kami can use a gohei as a spellcasting focus.
The nobility of Kamigawa are often humans of renowned clans or

members of other races that are related to important historical
lineages. Replace the signet ring in your equipment package with
sealing wax and a stone seal of your family's or ancestor's name. ‘As
you work with your DM to determine your title and family if you
have access to MAGIC: THE GATHERING cards from the Neon
Dynasty set or Kamigawa block, consider choosing an ancestor or
relative from among the legendary creature cards in those sets.
OUTLANDER
The outlands of Kamigawa include the Jukai Forest, the Takenuma

swamps, and the Sokenzan mountains. Perhaps you are from an
akki or o-bakemono tribe, a nezumi village, or an orochi colony.
You can replace the trophy in your equipment package with a
bullseye lantern, climber's kit, fishing tackle, or net.
SAGE
You have dedicated your life to research. Perhaps you are a student
of Minamo Academy or Shinka Keep, or perhaps you are a
researcher in the floating city of Otawara. Your Researcher feature
will likely direct you to one of these locations, or toakamiof
knowledge.
SCROUNGER (URCHIN)
You grew up in the Undercity of Towashi, and quickly learned to

fend for yourself. The map in your equipment package is a map of
Towashi, and you can replace the pet mouse with a Tiny origami
drone or friendly kami.
When you use your City Secrets in Towashi, you find

underground passages through the Undercity. The paths of the
Undercity are haunted by dangers that rarely brave the light of the
surface world, so your journey isn't guaranteed to be safe.

tingling sensation through the wielder's hand when it wants to
communicate something it has sensed.

When you do so, the damage you take from the attack is reduced
by 1d4 + your Dexterity modifier. If you are proficient with the sai
dagger, you may also add your proficiency bonus to the roll. If you
reduce the damage to 0, you may make a single melee weapon
attack against the attacker, as part of the same reaction.
WAR FAN
A war fan appears as a folding handheld paper fan, but is made
from metal.
While wielding a war fan, you gain +1 bonus to AC. You cannot
gain this benefit if you are using a shield.

affected electronic device is inoperable, and a magic item that isn't
an artifact has its magical properties suppressed.
A creature holding or carrying the object when you cast the spell
must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become poisoned
for the duration. While poisoned this way, the creature is unable to
release or remove the chosen object.
At the end of each of the poisoned creature's turns, it must make

a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes
4d6 necrotic damage. If it successfully saves against this spell three

pieces are within range. This spell leaves no trace of damage.
SEISMIC WAVE
2nd-level Transmutation

Range: Self (15-foot cone)
Components: V, S
You slam the ground, causing a rippling shockwave to emit from

you along the ground in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area
must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature
takes 3d6 bludgeoning damage and is knocked prone. On a
successful save, a creature takes half that damage and isn't
knocked prone. Structures and objects in the area that aren't being
worn or carried take double damage.
Additionally, the ground in that area becomes difficult terrain

until cleared. Each 5-foot-square portion of the area requires at

above 2nd.
SHORT CIRCUIT
2nd-level Enchantment

Range: 30 feet
Components: S
You cause an electronic device you can see within range to

experience a power surge. If the device isn't being worn or carried,
it ceases to function for 1 minute, or until it is restarted or
repaired, and you choose to create either a shock or smoke.
Shock. Each creature within 5 feet of the device must succeed

on a Dexterity saving throw or be paralyzed until the end of its
next turn.
Smoke. Thick black smoke spreads out from the target in a 20-
foot radius, moving around corners. The area of the smoke is
heavily obscured. The smoke persists for 1 minute or until a strong
wind disperses it.
SOUL TRANSFER
4th-level Necromancy
Casting Time: 1 reaction, which you take when a humanoid
within 30 feet of you dies
Range: 30 feet
Components: V, S, M (an oni figurine worth 100gp)
This spell snatches the soul of a humanoid as it dies and allows you
to transfer its energy in one of the following ways.
Steal Life. You transfer the energy to yourself and regain hit
points equal to 2d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier.
Revive. You transfer the energy to a different creature within

range that has died within the last minute, restoring it to life with 1
hit point. This spell can't restore any missing body parts.
Animate. You transfer the energy to the corpse of another

Medium or Small humanoid within range that has been dead for
longer than 1 minute, raising it as a zombie (the DM has the
creature's statistics).
On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally

command the zombie if it is within range. You decide what action
the zombie will take and where it will move during its next turn, or
you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular
chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the zombie only
defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the
zombie continues to follow it until its task is complete.
The zombie crumbles to dust after 1 minute, if it drops to o hit

points, or if you create another zombie with this spell.
Payment. You transfer the energy of the soul to your patron or

an oni with whom you have made a deal. Though you gain no
special control or influence over the creature you pay the soul to,
their disposition is likely more favorable toward you.

that you can see within range. This corporeal form uses the Plant
Spirit stat block. When you cast the spell, choose a material: Bark,
Fungus, or Vine. The creature resembles a Beast of your choice
made of the chosen material, which determines certain traits in its
stat block. The creature disappears when it drops to o hit points or
when the spell ends.
The creature is an ally to you and your companions. In combat,

the creature shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn
immediately after yours. It obeys your verbal commands (no
action required by you). If you don't issue any, it takes the Dodge
action and uses its move to avoid danger.

VEHICLES
VEHICLES
ITH THE ADVENT OF TECHNOLOGY, THE INHABITANTS OF
Kamigawa have access to personal vehicles, such as

WA eve: and mech suits. The following section
provides a set of rules for using vehicles in Kamigawa.
PURCHASING VEHICLES
Certain vehicles can be purchased in Towashi or Sokenzashi using
the prices in the Vehicles for Sale table. The bankbuster and
soulripper suits are black market items.
VEHICLES FOR SALE
VEHICLE COST
Bankbuster 4,000gp
Brute Suit 500gp
Cyberbike 350gp
Dragonfly Suit 3,000gp
Futurist Sentinel 40,000gp
Soulripper 4,000gp
VEHICLE PROFICIENCY
If you have proficiency with a certain kind of vehicle (air, land, or

water), you can add your proficiency bonus to any check you make
to control that kind of vehicle in difficult circumstances, and to any
saving throw your vehicle is forced to make.
ANTIMAGIC SUSCEPTIBILITY
A vehicle is incapacitated while in the area of an antimagic field. If

targeted by dispel magic, the vehicle must make a Constitution
saving throw against the caster's spell save DC. On a failed save, it
becomes inoperable for 1 minute, or until it is restarted or
repaired.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTIONS
This section provides descriptions and stat blocks for a number of

vehicles found in Kamigawa. Please read the introduction of the
Monster Manual to familiarize yourself with how to read a stat
block before proceeding.
While vehicles have stat blocks like creatures, they are not
- intelligent creatures and do not act or move independently.
_ Without a rider or pilot, a vehicle is an inert object.
Vehicles usually have a score of 0 in Intelligence, Wisdom, and

Charisma. If a vehicle has a 0 in a score, it automatically fails any
ability check or saving throw that uses that score.
__ Ifa vehicle drops to 0 hit points, it is inoperable until it is
repaired. An inoperable vehicle is incapacitated and can't move. A

character with proficiency in smith's tools can restore 10 hit points
to.a damaged vehicle-for each hour of work. If a vehicle becomes
inoperable some other way, such as by a spell, a creature can
_ restart the vehicle by using its action.

CYBERBIKE
A cyberbike is a two-wheeled vehicle built for speed, the horse of

the modern age. It can serve as your mount (The rules for
Mounted Combat can be found in the Player's Handbook).
Crashing. The controller of a cyberbike can run the vehicle

into another object or a creature by moving the vehicle into the
target's space and making a special attack roll (1d20 + the
controller's proficiency bonus) against the target's Armor Class. If
the attack roll hits, a crash occurs; otherwise, the target moves out
of the vehicle's path, avoiding the crash. If the DM decides that a
crash is unavoidable, no attack roll is necessary, and the crash
occurs automatically.
When a cyberbike crashes into something that could reasonably

damage it, both the cyberbike and the creature or object it struck
take bludgeoning damage based on the size of the struck object, as
shown in the Crash Damage table. The cyberbike stops after
crashing into a Gargantuan or immovable creature or object;
otherwise, the cyberbike can continue moving if it has any
movement left, and whatever it struck moves to the nearest
unoccupied space that isn't in the cyberbike's path.

Jump. If the cyberbike moves at least 30 feet in a straight

line, it can clear a distance of up to 60 feet when jumping
over a chasm, ravine, or other gap. Each foot it clears on the
jump costs a foot of movement.
No Seatbelt. If the cyberbike moves at least 60 feet on its

turn and then makes a 90 degree turn or stops moving, its
rider must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed
save, the rider falls, landing prone in a space within 5 feet of
the cyberbike.

During the time of the Kami War, the Sokenzan mountains were home to many ronin,
bandits, and ochimusha deserters. Many of these
warriors befriended the mountains’ native akki tribes, and trained them in the ways
of samurai. Some of these tribes kept these traditions,
and akki ronin combine the deadly sword arts with their own custom-made weapons and
armor. These weapons and armor are often
magically infused with heat and fire.

CORPSE-SWALLOWER
TOAD
Corpse-swallower toads are native to the swamps of Takenuma

and the Undercity of Towashi. They are so named because they
grow to enormous size, and are scavengers, feeding off of the
bodies of other creatures that have died in the muck and mire. A
corpse-swallower toad might start life as a frog, then grow to
become a giant frog or giant toad (see the Monster Manual for
statistics), before becoming a fully mature corpse-swallower toad.

DRAGON SPIRITS
The Dragon Spirits are powerful kami, each one defending a region
of Kamigawa from threats, both within and without. Though most
of them died during the Kami War, they have since been reborn.
They are widely regarded but often prove to be temperamental
spirits.
AO, THE DAWN SKY rs
Ao is the reincarnation of Yosei, the divine dragon that was the

guardian of Kamigawa's plains and the city of Eiganjo. Haunted by
the memories of his violent death when he was torn in half ina
battle against O-Kagachi, Ao refused to assume the role of
Eiganjo's protector again after the city was rebuilt and tried to
distance himself from mortal affairs as much as possible. On
occasion, though, he will break his own vows, unable to stand by
and do nothing when an extreme injustice is being committed.

Atsushi is the reincarnation of Ryusei, the divine dragon of

mountains. Out of all the divine dragons, Atsushi has most fully
embraced her reincarnation. Even though she never died, she
chose to be reborn along with the other dragons and take on a new
form. Most of the time, she's genial and happy-go-lucky, though
she's been known to fly into a destructive rage whenever someone
manages to trigger her flashfire temper. She continues to act as the
guardian for the Sokenzan mountains and is a frequent visitor at
Sokenzanshi, where her presence is always welcomed
enthusiastically.

JUNJI, THE MIDNIGHT SKY
Junji is the reincarnation of Kokusho, the divine dragon that was

the guardian of the swamps of Takenuma. Unlike many of the
other divine dragons, Kokusho didn't die during the Kami War,
but she was killed decades afterward guarding the denizens of
Takenuma against an oni attack. When she was reincarnated as
the male dragon Junji, he chose to distance himself completely
from the swamp, abandoning Takenuma and leaving its
inhabitants to fend for themselves. He took up residence in the
canals snaking through the Towashi Undercity, his presence a
constant, silent warning that keeps Reckoner gangs from letting
their turf wars get too out of hand.

GUARDIAN OF OBORO
In recent times, the moonfolk have allowed visitors, merchants,

and others into their floating city of Otawara, which has become a
sort of beacon of progress and technology. However, their palace
of Oboro is regarded as a sacred place, and no outsiders or non-

ONI CULTIST
Oni cultists can be found throughout Kamigawa, seeking to bring

back their masters, the oni who are locked away in Kakuriyo.
Worship of the oni is traditional in the culture of the ogres, but can
also be found commonly among the Reckoner gangs of Towashi.
There is no limit to where one might find a cultist lurking and
serving their master.
Oni in Kamigawa can use the statistics for the oni in the Monster
Manual; more powerful spirits might use any of that book's
statistics for demons or devils.
Oni possession was common during the Kami War, and some
oni cultists might find themselves possessed by an oni. Oni
possession is distinguished by a glowing third eye that appears
vertically on the forehead of the possessed, called the Mark of the
Oni. This possession functions similarly to the Possession action of
the ghost, which also appears in the Monster Manual
